| WHEREAS, The Senate Ladies Club originated in 1927 as a | ||
| social club for ladies who accompanied their husbands to Austin | ||

| acquainted with one another and introduce themselves to the | ||
| Austin community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The club has a tradition of hosting a dinner the | ||
| Monday preceding the opening of the legislative session to honor | ||
| the governor and lieutenant governor and their spouses and the | ||
| new members of the Senate and their spouses; the club meets | ||
| frequently during the regular session; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Active members are those women serving in the | ||
| Senate and the wives of senators; associate members are women who | ||
| are former senators or wives of former senators; and honorary | ||
| members are the spouses of the current governor, lieutenant | ||
| governor, and the attorney general; membership in the club is, in | ||
| effect, a life membership--"Once a Senate Lady, always a Senate | ||
| Lady"; and | ||

| 1991 and is being honored this year for her 26 years of loyal | ||
| membership and outstanding service; now, therefore, be it | ||
